THE solution is a simple snooze.
According to Oprah Winfrey’s pal
and regular guest, Dr Oz, sleeping
is a key way to lose weight.
The claim was made during a
segment on Dr Oz’s own US TV
show on how to “makeover your
bedroom to lose weight”.
During the bedroom makeover
segment, Dr. Oz and Dr. Michael
Breus, author of the “The Sleep
Doctor’s Diet Plan,” told guests in
the audience that lack of sleep
causes the body to produce more
cortisol and ghrelin (hormones
which increase your appetite and
cause you to crave high-carb,
high-fat food).
Dr Oz also said that losing REM
sleep means less calories are
burned during the night.
Dr. Oz then told viewers that if
they can increase just one hour of
sleep a night, from seven to eight
hours, they could lose six kilos in
a year.
HEAL heartbreak.
Those suffering the ill effects of
a broken heart are being offered a
pain medication of sorts - the
chance to offload gifts and tokens
of their failed relationships.
The new website, Never Liked it
Anyway, is the brainchild of expat
Annabel Acton, and was
conceived after she was dumped
a few years ago, right before
Christmas.
“All this pathetic ‘better to have
loved and lost than never to have
loved at all’ was sappy, I wanted
something spunky,” she said.
The website allows users to
upload photos of their unwanted
item, and to list their real world
value as well as it’s bargain
‘break-up price’.
Underneath their product,
sellers also get to vent about the
reason for selling their items.
Products for sale on the site
include artwork, jewelery,
wedding dresses, wedding and
engagement rings and even
honeymoon packages.
